The young woman was recovered alive – Her “thank you” to the Greek rescuers – The unconscious little child and his mother were recovered – What the representative of the Fire Department told Sky 100.3
One more person was found alive and managed to be retrieved from the ruins in Hatay by the members of the Greek rescue teams. It is about a young girl, Irene, who was trapped under a slab. The EMAK and EKAV rescuers fought for about ten hours to reach her and free her. According to what the representative of the Fire Department stated on SKAI 100.3 radio, John Bakerimmediately after her release, the young lady said “thank you” in broken Greek to the Greek rescuers.
He emphasized that the biggest reward for the Greek rescuers was the thanks from the girl.
Afterwards, according to Mr. Artopoios, the Greek mission recovered from the scene a dead mother and her child whom she had crushed with her body.
According to what Mr. Artophios stated earlier, throughout the extrication operation, the girl was “hooked” by the hand of the Greek Firefighter, waiting patiently her salvation.
The EMAK men located Irene when they heard a voice during the search in the ruins of the specific building. With true self-sacrifice they began to search, as during the operation there were two strong aftershocks, and they managed to reach the point where they initially believed that the little child was alive who was under the body of his lifeless mother.
Eventually it was found that the child was unfortunately unconscious, while the voice was that of young Irene.
